When your Totem powers on, the Halo displays a Battery Level Indicator.
Full Halo = 100%
Half-Filled Halo = 50%
Quarter-Filled Halo = 25%
Red, Flashing Touch Crystal = Low Power Mode
Note: When Totem Compass Battery Level is 25% or less, Touch Crystal functionality is limited.
*In new locations, it may take up to 30 minutes to establish satellite connection; enable Eco Mode to accelerate this process
1. Hold two Totems together in Compass Mode.
2. Press and hold both Touch Crystals simultaneously.
When Bonding is successful:
1. The blue light on your Totem’s Halo will change to the color of your new Bond.
2. The Halo will collapse into a single LED and jump into your Touch Crystal.
Note: Your Totem Compass will always remember Bonds unless you remove them.
Bond Light colors are automatically assigned to peers based on Bonding order:
First Bond = pink
Second Bond = green
Third Bond = blue
Fourth Bond = yellow
To check colors of Bonded peers:
1. Move Totems together
2. Touch Crystal will display color of Bonded peer
Note: When you remove a Bond they can no longer track you.
Your Totem has 3 brightness settings that impact battery life:
1. Day Vibe (~10 hours)
2. Night Vibe (~14 hours)
3. Eco Mode (~24 hours)
To cycle between brightness settings, click the Power Button once while your Totem is powered on.
Touch Crystal colors are for aesthetic purposes only and do not correlate to Bond Light colors, unless you enable special settings through the Totem App.
To change your Touch Crystal color:
1. Enter Compass Mode
2. Single-tap Touch Crystal to change color
3. Continue tapping Touch Crystal to cycle through 12 different colors

The Totem Compass leverages Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) to provide accurate positioning and navigation. However, several factors can influence its performance.
Environmental Obstructions: Physical obstructions such as dense foliage, tall buildings, or mountainous terrain can cause signal reflection or blockage, leading to multi-path errors and decreased positional accuracy.
Atmospheric Conditions: Variations in the Earth’s ionosphere, particularly during solar flares and geomagnetic storms, can disrupt GNSS signals.
Solar Activity: Elevated solar activity can induce scintillation events in the ionosphere, degrading the quality of satellite signals. In standard GNSS receivers, mild scintillation can reduce position accuracy by several meters, while severe scintillation can cause signal loss.
Weather Conditions: Adverse weather can have minor effects on the strength and quality of GNSS signals, potentially impacting the device’s performance.
Electromagnetic Interference: Proximity to strong electromagnetic sources or environments with high radio frequency interference can disrupt GNSS signal reception, leading to potential inaccuracies.
